State of Digital Adoption in the Construction Industry 2025
In this third edition of State of Digital Adoption in the Construction Industry, we find that the speed of digital transformation across the construction industry is gathering pace. Technologies such as Building Information Modelling (BIM) generative Artificial Intelligence (AI), and digital twins are leading the way in transforming how the industry operates.
Our survey of 894 construction businesses from Japan, Singapore, Australia, India, Malaysia and Hong Kong found that when presented with a list of 16 technologies and asked to identify which were already integrated into their operations, the average business was already using 6.2 of these technologies, representing a 20% increase from the 5.3 technologies used on average from last year.
Core enabling technologies remain the most widely used digital tools, with 49% of businesses currently using construction management cloud software, 49% using mobile apps, 48% using data analytics, and 45% using BIM. AI and Machine Learning use has been one of the fastest growing technologies, with 37% of businesses now using this technology, up from the 26% of businesses in first edition of State of Digital Adoption in the Construction Industry in 2023.
